Because of the complexity of the structure and magnetic circuit of the micro claw-pole stepper motor, it is difficult to analyze this kind of motor quickly and accurately. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to accurately model and use the three-dimensional finite element analysis method to accurately analyze the motor. Regarding the three-dimensional finite element method, the equivalent magnetic circuit method analysis is fast, but the accuracy is not high.

Then sandwich PVDF-g-4VP/GO-CTPy/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane was fabricated for adsorption of Cu (II) as a model. The membrane formation, static adsorption thermodynamics, kinetics and dynamic adsorption/desorption were studied.

Compound 8a displayed favorable selectivity between hepatocellular carcinoma cells and normal hepatocyte cells, and the combination of 8a with aspirin resulted in additive inhibition of in vitro tumor cell growth and migration. The 8a-aspirin combination also inhibited H22 liver tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis and improved body weight index in animal models.

The results showed that anthraquinone-polyamine conjugates (AQPCs) exhibited the most potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity with IC50 values from 1.50 to 11.

The pharmacological results indicated that compounds 3e-3i inhibited both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in the micromolar range (IC50, 2.28-117.

The results showed that most of the synthesized compounds exhibited high acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity at the micromolar range (IC50, 1.83-33.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA series of tacrine-methoxybenzene hybrids (5a-5i) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of cholinesterases (ChEs). All the compounds had better ChEs inhibitory activities than tacrine with IC50 values at the nanomolar range. Compound 5h exhibited the strongest inhibition on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with an IC50 value of 6.
